it snowed today!!yippie skippie!as we watched the rain turn into big fat snowflakes...my excitement began to build...and when the snow began to stick to the ground, well, i knew we were goin on a little field trip!

mr. dan and i threw on some clothes,skipped brushing our teeth...ew...and headed for our favorite country road for a few photos (make that a few hundred)

i have been anxiously awaiting this first snowfall all winter.

i was as giddy as a young school girl.(try that sentence with a german accent...it is much funnier)

i love snow!

the snow was soooo wet i had to carry an umbrella to keep my camera from getting wet.i finally understand why someone invented those stupid looking hats with the umbrella attached...it would have come in handy.

as we returned back to the old homestead...this is my house with snow on the roof....
it was still coming down,
in big wet flakes...

some of them even look like little white hearts!
do you see the hearts?

snow covered angels and floating white hearts falling from the sky...
a little piece of heaven on earth!

a couple of hours later the snow was completely gone and then mr. sunshine even came out.i am so glad we rushed out to take pictures when we did!p.s. i know how to add a snow effect in photoshop but did not use it on any of these photos...nature took care of that for me.

have a good week!erin

this is my first attempt at the new google way of blogging...ha...so new (to me, anyway) that i can not even recall the name for it! anyhoo, i hope i did it right...learning something new is good for us, right?

i have also installed the new linky followers button on my sidebar...i have been reading all sorts of rumors ("rumor has it", i love that song by adele) about google discontinuing the google friend connect button as of march 1st....i hope this does not happen as i love my followers and i don't want to loose a single one of you!! you can sign up to follow me in the new linky follower gadget if you care too....i am a little confused by the whole darn thing, but feel sure it will work itself out....fingers crossed here.

I was wondering if or how much snow that area got. Nice photos - thanks for sharing.The tiny blue print is hard to read. I think if your blog is thru blogger.com, the GFC will still work. If I understand it correctly, those that use wordpress, typepad, etc. will not have it any more.

I just love watching the snow fall, it just makes everything so pure, glittery and beautiful! I could see the hearts, what a great photo! Your idea for taking the frame to the beach was fabulous! The pics are fabulous! t.xoxo

Erin,So beautiful! I am jealous! Your pictures made me feel as if I was walking along with you and the mr.!The hearts and the angels really touched my heart :)Thanks for sharing your lovely photos!Hugs,Donna

It snowed here tonite in North Carolina too! Very exciting! and i just "followed" you on the linky thing, and even though i find this whole thing with google friend connect annoying as crap, i sure don't want to miss any of your posts!

I just love your snow photos Erin! I just can't seem to keep up with all the changes that Google is talking about...I don't want to lose anything either, but don't really "get" what we are supposed to do!

Lovely pictures!!! Snow falling in heartshaped flakes, so beautiful. I love snow too, but we had a first springlike day today and I loved it just as much. Btw, you have a dreamhome, well, the home from my dreams anyway, outside and inside.Bye,Marian

Beautiful! Scrolling down your photos, just as I wondered "what about your camera with all that snow?" you posted that you used your umbrella. Clever girl! And love the thought of you wandering about, in the snow, with a big 'ol umbrella. My mind is picturing a big black umbrella...

Beautiful photos, Erin! We had a lovely snowfall like that on Saturday, but it started late, and was gone by the time we got home from church. Only got a few shots with my iPhone. Good for you for getting out there and "capturing" those flakes!!! Your house is charming!xxdawne

lol! You sounded sooooo stinkin' happy in your post, Erin! I'm thrilled that you finally got the snow that you've been pining for!! I would'ave gladly sent you some of ours....but it's been almost non-existent this winter! We're loving THAT! lol! Your photos were just beautiful. It IS pretty when the flakes are big and wet and floaty! Your house is gorgeous, too, girl! :)
